I am a DBS checked, fully qualified tutor with over 20 years experience in leading art and craft groups of all ages and abilities. 

​

As well as being an exhibiting artist and portrait painter, I'm certified in Teaching for Lifelong

Learning, I have a diploma in Children's Book Illustration and I'm a qualified Gold, Silver and Bronze Arts Award advisor. As an enthusiastic believer and participant in lifelong learning and continued professional development, I also hold CPD accredited certificates in Dementia Awareness (2019), Mental Health Awareness (2020), Trauma Informed Practice (2023), and Art Therapy & Colour Therapy (2025).

​

I believe in encouraging students to reflect on their own work and the work of other artists in order to build confidence and develop technical skills so they can explore, find and progress their own individual artistic style.

​

I'm currently a visiting tutor at Artpocket, a well established art school in Norwich, Norfolk. Please visit their website here for details of my Artpocket-based courses and workshops. 

​

I regularly run workshops at The Cat House, a cat-themed lounge and arts centre in Norwich. Please visit their website here for details of the fun cat-themed workshops I lead there.

​

​I also run my own Community Art Club on Saturday mornings in South Norfolk, and I offer individual tuition and all sorts of different one-off art and craft workshops all over Norfolk and Suffolk. Please use the contact form below to find out more, or subscribe to my newsletter.
